LORA (LOng Range Artillery) is a theater quasi-ballistic missile developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). The missile has a range of 400 kilometres (250 mi) and a CEP of 10 metres (33 ft) when using a combination of GPS and TV for terminal guidance. It can be ship-launched from inside of a standard Intermodal container[3] as well as land-launched.[4]
On 11 June 2018, the Azerbaijan revealed it had purchased the LORA system from Israel at an undisclosed date following president Ilham Aliyev's visit to an Azerbaijani Land Forces missile unit housing both the LORA and the Polonez.[5][6] LORA was used in the final days of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, being used to target a vital bridge in the Lachin corridor linking Armenia to the Nagorno-Karabakh region.[7] It was initially thought to have destroyed the bridge, but later evidence suggested it had only inflicted limited damage.[8]
During Aero India in June 2023, India's Bharat Electronics signed a Memorandum of Understanding with IAI to produce the LORA in India under license.[9][10]
